Rocker cover looks great! Nice work on that.
Did you make sure to do the rocker cover bolts up in the correct order, and to the correct (very low) torque?
NurseHolliday-
Thanks, arms feeling pretty drained after all that elbow grease! I did attempt to use my torque wrench but it didn't go down that low (6-8NM) so just nipped it up concentrically. I've previously stripped a rocker cover bolt on a motorbike and that wasn't fun. Smaller torque wrench is on the shopping list.
Thinking air-con 'delete', charcoal canister 'delete' and washer bottle relocation may be on the cards to tidy up the engine bay. How was the track?!

Had a bit of spare time this weekend so set about cleaning up the badly painted rocker cover and removing the 2 heavy tow hooks from the rear. Legend has it MX-5's had these on all 4 corners when they were originally shipped over and strapped down.
